e - Computer Definition

E

Exa. From the Greek hexa, meaning six, translates to quintillion, referring to the fact that, in terms of order of magnitude in base 1,000, exa is 1,000 6 . In order, that puts it right behind kilo (thousand), Mega (million), Giga (billion),Tera (trillion), and Peta (quadrillion).

In terms of the electromagnetic spectrum, EHz (ExaHertz) is a quintillion (10 18 ) Hertz, which is in the range of X-rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays, none of which are currently have any application in telecommunications. An Ebps would be a quintillion (10 18 ) bits per second (bps). In transmission systems, therefore, a quintillion would be exactly 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 since the measurement is based on a base 10, or decimal, number system. That definitely would be broadband, if it were possible, but it is difficult to imagine an application for that level of bandwidth. See also bandwidth, bps, broadband, and electromagnetic spectrum.

(2) (Electronic) "E" with or without the hyphen (e or e-) is used as a word prefix in order to connote the electronic or Internet version of a physical object or activity: mail becomes e-mail, book becomes e-book, etc. Although "e" terms are often written without the hyphen (dash), we use it in this encyclopedia for readability; for example, "e-commerce" is easier to recognize and verbalize than "ecommerce."

(3) A set of object-oriented extensions for Java and Common Lisp introduced in 1997 by Electric Communities. Inspired by the Joule and Original-E languages, E was designed to create secure distributed computing applications. Messages are sent to remote objects in "vats," which processes the messages in the order they are received.

e - Investment & Finance Definition

Can
be attached as a fifth letter of a NASDAQ stock symbol to specify that the
company has not met the reporting date for the company’s Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory filing requirements. This happens
infrequently because companies can be delisted or face penalties from the SEC
if they do not meet regulatory requirements.
